A migraine? Really? On vacation? Heat, over exposure to the sun, heavy pollen and who knows what else triggered a terrible headache that I battled all day. Finally, a nap, an ice pack, several bottles of water and a quiet walk worked. We found a Greek restaurant where I had a fabulous chicken rice soup and baklava.
We had a wonderful walk along the beach this morning while it was still coolish. Jelly fish and sand dollars floundered on the beach. I think I saw our MS principal's family walking in the opposite direction. We did not expect to know anyone here and then these familiar faces appeared.
Nancy, Steve and I had lunch nearby at a restaurant that specialized in flatbread pizzas. For hours this afternoon, we sat on the beach and visited. How difficult it is for her to be here again without Glenn. In October, they were here for their 30th anniversary. A month later, he was dead.
They sat on the beach while I let the waves carry me, dipping and plunging in 70 degree water. It was so invigorating! Why would anyone sit when they could be playing?
Children squealed and laughed while they rode skimmers and boogie boards. The best entertainment was a little girl in a pink ruffled two piece swim suit. She pranced and skipped, scooped sand, splashed in shallow pools, and ran into the waves with abandon. Her mom and dad split supervision duty, but she completely ignored them and played alone happily.
Astrum solar has agreed to amicably settle our dispute and remove all the components they have installed and repair the house. The project is nearly over and that's a great relief. I know Steve is disappointed, but I am very glad.
